When Mephistopheles offered Faust the world and all its treasures
in return for his soul, Faust wanted time to think about it. When
the deal included the world's most beautiful woman, Faust still
hesitated. But when Mephistopheles offered him the woman he loved,
Faust handed over his immortal soul. The choice for Samson Gregory
is equally Faustian. Fame, fortune and the woman he loves in return
for selling his soul. If he has one to sell. Big money, big and
evil Pharma, sex, spies, sport and sudden death, in every sense,
combine in a gripping modern morality tale that twists and turns to
a wonderful conclusion. The European golf circuit is the background
for the story, but you don't have to like golf to enjoy this. Sport
is just a metaphor for life and the way our character is tested by
the choices on offer. It's easy to have principles, until they
start to cost us money, or someone we love. Then we ditch them. we
all know the road to the top is a hard one. So what if the devil
tempts us with an easy one? Let yourself be tempted. Read this
riveting book!
Fancy a spot of peaceful, dignified golf? Then West Belby, with its
dark past and present traumas, is not the place for you. Hard up
and desperate, the club's novice managers turn to the services of a
mysterious American, who promises what he may never deliver and
keeps his past a secret. Fraud, vandalism and an unexplained fire
put fragile friendships and rocky relationships to the test. Old
rivalries re-emerge, past loves gain new energy, ancient wrongs cry
out for revenge and John Winter, a decent man with one major
weakness, women, is caught in the middle of a tale of deceit,
revenge, passion and humiliation, as the past returns to haunt them
all. Even the tightly regulated game of golf, with its strict
etiquette, buttoned-up morality, and a rule for every situation
proves an unreliable restraint on the explosive emotions of its
players. Off the course, moreover, there are no rules, and precious
little remains buttoned-up for long! 'Winter Rules' is a
rip-roaring follow-up to the popular 'The Trophy Wife'. It deals
with grown-up themes in a humorous, witty and down-to earth way.
The style is delightful, the characters engaging and the story
turns this way and that before reaching a satisfying and surprising
conclusion.
Harry Brennan gets nervous playing his buddies at golf for a
tenner. Imagine how he feels when he has to face a deadly rival in
a three-pronged shoot-out on the links, for a prize like no other.
The twists and turns of this ingenious and unique comic gem will
keep you entertained and agog right to the final, totally
unexpected twist. Golf dub membership is falling fast. This book
will change all that. What really goes on in the clubhouse and on
the putting greens is a revelation and will have you laughing,
crying and gasping in disbelief. And everyone will want to be a
member at West Belby. For years Graham Jones wrote regular columns
in the Times education section. He made the obscure and remote
world of Further Education funny and relevant and had a loyal
following of readers. In his first novel at the age of 69, he
brings the same qualities of a lively style and off-beat sense of
humour to golf dub politics and manners. And the result is amazing.
You'll love the characters; you'll love their stories; you'll love
this book.

Is a Chainsaw from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham

The Jordan Peele of horror fiction turns his eye to classic slasher
films: Jade is one class away from graduating high-school, but
that's one class she keeps failing local history. Dragged down by
her past, her father and being an outsider, she's composing her
epic essay series to save her high-school diploma. Jade's topic?
The unifying theory of slasher films. In her rapidly gentrifying
rural lake town, Jade sees the pattern in recent events that only
her encyclopedic knowledge of horror cinema could have prepared her
for. And with the arrival of the Final Girl, Letha Mondragon, she's
convinced an irreversible sequence of events has been set into
motion. As tourists start to go missing, and the tension grows
between her community and the celebrity newcomers building their
mansions the other side of the Indian Lake, Jade prepares for the
killer to rise. She dives deep into the town's history, the tragic
deaths than occurred at camp years ago, the missing tourists no one
is even sure exist, and the murders starting to happen, searching
for the answer. As the small and peaceful town heads towards
catastrophe, it all must come to a head on 4th July, when the town
all gathers on the water, where luxury yachts compete with canoes
and inflatables, and the final showdown between rich and poor, past
and present, townsfolk and celebrities slasher and Final Girl.

A spellbinding and surreal coming-of-age story about a young boy
living on the fringe with his family - who are secretly werewolves
- and struggling to survive in a contemporary America that shuns
them. He was born an outsider, like the rest of his family. Poor
yet resilient, he lives in the shadows with his aunt Libby and
uncle Darren, folk who stubbornly make their way in a society that
does not understand or want them. They are mongrels, mixed blood,
neither this nor that. The boy at the centre of Mongrels must
decide if he belongs on the road with his aunt and uncle, or if he
fits with the people on the other side of the tracks. For ten
years, he and his family have lived a life of late-night exits and
narrow escapes - always on the move across the South to stay one
step ahead of the law. But the time is drawing near when Darren and
Libby will finally know if their nephew is like them or not. And
the close calls they've been running from for so long are catching
up fast now. Everything is about to change. A compelling and
fascinating journey, Mongrels alternates between past and present
to create an unforgettable portrait of a boy trying to understand
his family and his place in a complex and unforgiving world.

Blackfeet author Stephen Graham Jones brings readers a
spine-tingling Native American horror novella. Walking through his
own house at night, a fifteen-year-old thinks he sees another
person stepping through a doorway. Instead of the people who could
be there, his mother or his brother, the figure reminds him of his
long-gone father, who died mysteriously before his family left the
reservation. When he follows it he discovers his house is bigger
and deeper than he knew. The house is the kind of wrong place where
you can lose yourself and find things you'd rather not have. Over
the course of a few nights, chasing the ghost of his father and the
promise of his Native American heritage, the boy tries to map out
his house in an effort that puts his little brother in the worst
danger, and puts him in the position to save his family...at
terrible cost.
It explains why we have more than a hundred more record shops than
we had in 2009, and how others have gained the reward from their
hard work. Budget turntables, manufactures, supermarkets, chain
stores, clothes shops, pressing plants and even the government are
amongst the many who have benefited from their efforts. Graham
Jones has spent 32 years travelling the UK selling to independent
record shops and visited more record shops than any other human.
This book guides you around the record shops of the UK who sell new
vinyl. He has gathered some fascinating and funny anecdotes told
him by our much-loved record shop staff so that when you visit you
will feel like you already know the characters behind the counters.
It is perfect for vinyl fans to keep with them on their travels
around the country.

These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boy's
summer romance doesn't end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in
blood. A girl on a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods who's
exactly what she needs, except then that friend follows her back to
the city. A father hears a voice through his baby monitor that
shouldn't be possible, but now he can't stop listening. A woman
finds out that the shipwreck wasn't the disaster, but who she's
shipwrecked with. A big brother learns just what he will, and
won't, trade for one night of sleep. From prison guards making
unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out
justice, these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into
our most base fears and certainties, and there's no anesthetic.
Turn the light on if you want, but that just makes for more
shadows.
With over thirty years as a record company sales rep, Graham has
collected a vast number of funny stories and anecdotes. He relates
the best of them here, as told to him by those behind the record
shop counter. This unique collection of
"I'll-hum-it-have-you-got-it?" and similar stories is an engrossing
memorial to an increasingly bygone age.
This play, ideally suited to younger actors, concentrates on a very
important topical issue - pollution. Nora, a member of her school's
Environmental Studies Society, attempts to have analysed samples of
water from local caves which she suspects is being contaminated by
a factory of which her father is a director. Excitement and tension
mount when Nora threatens to drink the water.2 women, 4 men
